This is the first article in a series of articles about High Performance Computing with the Intel Xeon Phi. The Intel Xeon Phi is the first commercial product of Intel to incorporate the Many Integrated Core architecture. In this article I will present the basics of the Xeon Phi architecture, the programming models and what we can do to measure the performance in cycles for micro benchmarks.

Offload Programming: Fortran and C Code Examples
This document describes a set of source code examples that are available as part of the Intel® Composer 2013 package. These examples demonstrate the basic concepts of offload programming for Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors and are installed to the following default location on Linux*. The default value for <install_dir> is /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.
Fortran code examples: <install-dir>/Samples/en_US/Fortran/mic_samples/LEO_Fortran_intro/

Tuning the Intel MKL DFT functions performance on Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors
Overview
Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) includes the optimized DFT transform functions on Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors. These functions are carefully vectorized and threaded to take advantage of the hardware features. This article provides some performance tuning tips on running MKL DFT function on Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. We will start with some simple example code.

Fortran vs. C offload directives and functions
This is a "cheatsheet" comparing the Fortran and C++ offload directives and functions in the context of programming for the Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor
